Oh my freaking goodness gracious people!!!!!!!!!!!
Do I have to call everybody's mothers? Or maybe drag you each one by one to her door and assist with the butt whoopin's? Good grief!!!!!!!!
Any chance folks could use some manners here and privately mail prop or her Daddy if you have concerns or encouragement? What has gone on here is akin to getting the attention of an entire restaurant and promptly letting everyone know you are going to beat the living crap out of your kid and ask for fellow particpants, pantsing the kid, and then proceeding to beat them senseless for all the world to see over something that really was a private matter in the first place. Of course, in such a situation, a bunch of people are going to come out and try to save the kid from the lashing without even knowing the full reason why the kid is being beaten in the first place.
Let's see here. The laws of the land were put in place by the ruling parties to promote the ruling parties and their agendas. It has nothing to do with the greater good, what is morally right, or even so called common sense. We have also established, while we are at it, that there is no such thing as common sense. It is relative. We have also established that a person should not violate their own personal moral code, but should be leaving other people alone with regard to theirs, provided it is not overlapping into the person's own life. If such a situation occurs, someone is going to have to win out or the paths will have to diverge. It's called compatability and it applies just as much to moral code as it does to anything else. Broaching the subject of asking or demanding that a person change their own moral code is possible, but needs to be handled with great care and not in the inflammatory ways demonstrated on this thread. We have also managed to establish that intellectual or moral high ground means absolutely nothing when the means of obtaining them is stubborness or by condemnation of others.
I think what I have learned most from this thread is that, as much as we talk about being open and acceptance and all those things, they are just empty sandlots for most of us. Call me crazy, but I want it all. I like to think I can remain open enough to understand even the most unusual of circumstances or desires, even if I don't share them or practice them myself. I also want some level of acceptance. Sorry folks, but the reality is I am so flawed and frail as to actually care. I don't want the things that give me so much joy to remain illegal (and most of the things we do are whether we are aware of it or not). I don't want to have to keep major parts of who I am to myself because family, friend, powers that be, and even the "bdsm community" at large can't handle it. It is basically like a rejection of me. This thread leaves me knowing without a doubt that I will always have to deal with pretty much no one ever truly knowing me or accepting me if they do know because we are all too busy wanting to put moral or intellectual prices on people's heads.
I am done with this thread. I am done with huge, controversial issues. I am not quite sure that I am not done with posting altogether. I have found this thread quite abhorant and a disgrace. I don't know why I just had to keep coming back, but the bickering and the in fighting have finally just turned my stomach in a most unkind way. Kill each other verbally. I just don't care.
